I haven't made it too far yet. Just going to start playing around here this weekend. I may have room for something about 3 feet tall, 4-5 feet wide and front to back 4-5 feet. The area I have to work with is a semi circle of the corner of the deck if that makes sense. There is space between my deck and my patio.

I'm open to options here. I originally left the space to put a small pond but my wife doesn't want that with the 6 month old baby. She wants to make it a sand box so I am trying to figure out a pondless option.

Do you guys have projects you have done with a bubbler like you mentioned.
